NAP 3.0+: Leveraging Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) for Adaptation

Side event organized by the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative (MCII), CARE International (CI), Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, and Institute for Climate Sustainable Cities (ICSC)

June 23 | 3:00PM CEST

Berlin Room, World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB)

The impacts of climate change have increased notably in intensity and frequency, especially in Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Least Developed Countries (LDCs), and emerging economies. With increased loss and damage and a widening adaptation finance gap, these countries are at severe risk of social and economic damage associated with these negative impacts. 

This session provides an overview of the MCII and UNDP study “Supplementary Guidelines on Integrating Disaster Risk Finance into NAPs” and further explores any opportunities or barriers to the inclusion of CDRFI in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans, and considers the importance of multi-stakeholder approaches in the formulation process as a method for enhancing knowledge sharing and climate resilience of the most vulnerable populations.
